it goes like this

She came dressed in beautiful green kurta. Her long hair always overflowing,
and her gracious demeanor always makes everyone take notice of her presence.
She walks slooowly, lest it may hurt the earth below and she radiates fragrance,
it lingers in my senses long after we go our ways.
Her beautiful round face makes the pearl in her ear glow even more beautiful.

so, we went out on a dinner date that day.
she generally is shy to go out for a dinner or date. But, i guess everyone gets lucky someday. I too got lucky the other day. She reluctantly agreed to dine with me.

We started pretty early in the evening, so that we could talk more. I guess, i wanted to hear her talk more. I had to drop by at the office on our way to the restro. So, i asked her if she would like to come to my office as well.
She said "um, i'm ok, you take your time". i went to my office and like a stupid fella, got into a discussion with a colleague.

It started to rain. i assumed she would be under the roof downstairs.  i hurriedly picked myself up and went running down-stairs to see she was drenched in rain. i asked her sternly "whhy didnt u come inside!" she didnt speak a word, and tears welled up her eyes. she went away without saying a word. this girl didnt want to bother me, stayed down stairs, thinking i would be doing something important.

i wish i had simply walked towards her and helped her dry off.  i went to her home. she hid herself on hearing me and aunty asked me if something went wrong. i asked if i could see her. she came dressed outside in her dotted tee and pyjama. by now her nose was red, her large forehead had weary lines, her eyes swollen (she cried for sure), still she put on a smile on her face. i cajoled her and asked to scold me, and as she nodded her head, i woke up.

i wish it were true, i would have ended like this
